Center for Applied Transect Studies
The Center for Applied Transect Studies is an organization focused on understanding and improving land use and environmental management. They conduct research and create tools that help communities observe, assess, and manage their landscapes—essentially examining the relationship between different land areas over a specific distance, known as a transect. This work is important for sustainable development, helping to balance economic growth with ecological health. By providing data and insights, they aim to support better decision-making for urban planners, conservation efforts, and land use policies.
